Seammans Regiment I was about two miles from him, and saw him very often while there, and I well recol- lect that he continued in the service at that time for the term of eight months -

REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS.
PENSION OFFICE,
Feby 21 st
1856.
Sir :
The claim of Rachel Ford for bounty land under the act of the 3d March, 1855, No. 184,902 has been examined and suspended.
The revolutionary service of Caleb Ford the husband of the applicant, does not appear of record in this office.
The 3d section of said act requires a service of "FOURTEEN DAYS" to be established by "RECORD EVIDENCE."
Upon the production of such evidence of service, the claim will be favorably considered.
IT SHOULD BE OBSERVED, that the recorded action of this office, admitting a revolutionary soldier to the list of pensioners upon parole proof, is not considered "record evidence" of service within the meaning of the act aforesaid. In all applications for bounty land under this act, the papers of the soldiers, or their widows, who have applied for or received pensions, as well as the rolls in this office, are carefully examined for record evidence of service, before this circular is issued.
Respectfully,
J. MINOT, Commissioner.
